Bug Description

`cloud-init status --wait` is the canonical way to wait for cloud-init to finish, so things that rely on it's actions can use it and know that they're complete.

It's hard to write such tooling when the Trusty version of cloud-init does not support the 'status --wait' sub-command.

Should be a faily simple opportunity to backport tooling-only. The CLI is decoupled from the general behavior of cloud-init on clouds and it'd be nice to have both cloud-init collect-logs as well as cloud-init status on earlier LTS than Xenial.

This changeset is not as low-hanging as I originally expected. Trusty still sits at 0.7.5 which has no cloudinit.cmd module yet which encapsulates the CLI. This makes backporting the CLI a little bit more than a single file backport and a bit more delta for trusty which we may not be super comfortable with.
